Health Computing: Pitt CPATH Project

In this project, health science students will learn and improve their computational thinking ability through a number of activities. The core component of these activities is a series of computational-thinking centered courses designed specifically for health science students. In this project, the courses/modules include high-level programming, database management, data mining, information security and privacy, computational modeling, and computational genomics.

To gradually enhance students' computational thinking ability and to fit the new course materials into undergraduate curriculum without significantly increasing the burden of our students, we distribute the course materials at three different levels:
